Symbolic Houses in Judaism: How Objects and Metaphors Construct Hybrid Places of Belonging: Ashgate Studies in Architecture

Autor Mimi Levy Lipis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 apr 2011
Investigating Jewish spatial practices by exploring the symbol of the house in Judaism, this book examines two groups of houses: ritual objects based on the iconology of the house (ritual houses) and house metaphors (the text, community and the covenant with god as house). This unique pairing is explored as place-making tools which exist in a constant state of tension between diaspora and belonging. Containing many photographs of historical and contemporary artefacts from Europe, Israel and the United States, this book maps out the intersection of architecture, Jewish studies, cultural and gender studies and opens up the discussion of distinctly Jewish objects and metaphors to discourses taking place outside explicitly Jewish contexts.

'Mimi Levy Lipis takes her readers on a lively journey through the multitude of symbolic houses in Judaism. Her pioneering work links diverse disciplines, exploring both real and metaphorical houses.

Descriere

This investigation of Jewish spatial practices explores two groups of house symbols: ritual objects that are based on the iconology of the house, and metaphors that use the term in an ascriptive manner. The connections between architecture and gender, cultural, and Jewish studies, reveal insights into how space affects the production, maintenance and transformation of identity, as well as social interactions, gender constructions and concepts of belonging.
